"It is a sensitively written story about resourceful children and the importance of family and friends. . . There are many informational books about Passover, but few incorporate a story, and not one Canadian book comes easily to mind. With its informative after word, the book is a good vehicle for introducing Passover to non-Jewish children, while a Jewish audience will identify with the holiday preparations."
